U.S. Mint Sales Report: Week ending February 26, 2017

This U.S. Mint sales report covers the week ending February 26, 2017. One new Mint product group was released during this period: the 2017 Kennedy half dollars, released on February 22. The clad half dollars are normal circulation strikes, but are produced exclusively for collectors and are not issued for circulation. The two-roll sets (17KB), containing one roll each from the P and D mints, were by far the Mint’s top performers for the week, selling 10,455 units. The 200-coin bags (17KA), containing 100 each from the P and D mints, came in fourth, with 3,224 sold. These figures are close to the first sales reports for the 2016 Kennedy halves, when the rolls (16KA) and bags (16KB) sold 3,480 and 11,358 units, respectively.

The Lions Clubs International Proof silver dollar (17CH) ranked second in sales, with 5,445 units reported. The coins were restored to availability last week after two weeks of being first “unavailable” and then “on back order. The Uncirculated version (17CJ) was in sixth place for the third week in a row, with 1,513 sold.

The 2017 ATB Quarters Silver Proof Set (17AQ) held on for third, with 4,402 sold, down from the number-1 spot last week, when it sold 43,538 units in its first four days of availability. The 2016 one-ounce American Silver Eagle Proof coin (16EA) completed the top five, with 2,186 units sold. Its Uncirculated counterpart (16EG) slipped from fourth to eighth, with 1,108 sold.

Minor negative adjustments were made to numerous items, including all of the 2017 Native American dollar products, but no single product was downwardly adjusted by more than 300.
